The main advantage of its results is that they are able to deal with nondifferentiable (even discontinuous) functions, which are important in applications. Possible applications in economics are discussed. Economists model time as continuous or discrete. Although individual economic decisions are generally made at discrete time intervals, they may well be less than perfectly synchronized in ways discrete models postulate. On the other hand, the usual assumption that economic activity takes place continuously, is nothing else than a convenient abstraction that in many applications is far from reality. The Hahn quantum calculus helps to bridge the gap between the two families of models: continuous and discrete. Quantum Variational Calculus is self-contained and unified in presentation. It provides an opportunity for an introduction to the quantum calculus of variations for experienced researchers but may be used as an advanced textbook by graduate students and even ambitious undergraduates as well. The explanations in the book are detailed to capture the interest of the curious reader, and complete to provide the necessary background material needed to go further into the subject and explore the rich research literature, motivating further research activity in the area. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Control, Automation and Robotics,$x2192-6794 606 $aMathematical optimization 606 $aCalculus of variations 606 $aAutomatic control 606 $aEconometrics 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aCalculus of Variations and Optimization 606 $aControl and Systems Theory 606 $aQuantitative Economics 606 $aQuantum Physics 615 0$aMathematical optimization. 615 0$aCalculus of variations. 615 0$aAutomatic control. 615 0$aEconometrics. 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 14$aCalculus of Variations and Optimization. 615 24$aControl and Systems Theory. 615 24$aQuantitative Economics. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 676 $a515.64 700 $aMalinowska$b Agnieszka B.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0755557 702 $aTorres$b Delfim F.
